PALMER S. DAHL, OF EVERETT, WASHINGTON.

PIN.

Application led July 13,

To all w from it may concern Be it known that I, PALMER S. DAHL, citizen of the United States, residing at Everett, in the county of Snohomish and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pins, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to pins and more particularly to an improved construction for permitting the pin to be inserted in the cloth or other material in a manner that will prevent it from being accidentally or casually displaced.

Other objects will appear upon consideration of the following detail description and. accompanying drawings, whereon:

The figure illustrates a side elevation of the pin showing the same mounted in a strip of cloth.

The pointed shank 1 has its free end provided with the pin point 2 and its upper end is rearwardly curved to form an offset 3 from which a portion of the pin is eX- tended straight as indicated at 4, this portion being offset with respect to the shank of the pin, but in parallel relation thereto. From the upper end of this straight portion 4 a loop 5 is formed which serves as a. guard and from which extends a connecting elbow 6 the terminal of which is equip-` ped with the pin head 7 A slight space intervenes between the straight portion 4: and the parallel portion of the elbow 6.

The cloth or other material indicated at 8 receives the pin in a manner that will prevent the pin from working out of the Specification of Letters Patent.

cloth after it has been placed in position. The irregular contour serving t'o prevent the pin from reciprocating or working out by an up and down movement. The elbow portion o' should be constructed with respect to its length so as to permit the cloth to slip over the guard member 5 when the pin is being removed.

Vthe pin head, a loop guard member forming an integral part of and connecting the ends of the said elbow and straight portion, a portion of the elbow being parallel to and spaced from the said straight portion above the o-iiset, the length of the portion connected to the said pin head being sufficient to permit the said loop guard member to readily follow through an opening through which the pin passes.

In testimony whereof, I have aiiiXe-d my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
